In the present study simple and rapid UV spectroscopic method was developed to quantify Tolterodine Tartarate (ToT) in bulk and marketed tablets. The λ_max of ToT in proposed mediums were 266nm and 284nm respectively and follows linearity in the concentration range 5-30μg/ml with a correlation coefficient 0.9996 and 0.9992. The % recovery of ToT from the marketed tablets were 99.66% and 100.12% with low % RSD values for two proposed mediums and was found to be in good agreement with the labelled claim. The % recovery in the standard addition method was in the range of 100.4 to 101%, with low % RSD indicate the proposed mediums had good reproducibility. The % RSD value < 2 indicate that the method is precise, robust and can be rugged. The above method is a rapid tool for routine quantification of ToT in the bulk and in the pharmaceutical dosage form.

Mosquitoes are a global public health concern, with over 100 species spreading diseases like malaria, dengue, and chikungunya. Plant-based compounds such as essential oils, alkaloids and saponins have shown mosquito larvicidal and repellent properties using larvicidal assay. The life cycle of a mosquito consists of four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult, all of which need stagnant water to develop. Malaria, a potentially deadly illness caused by Plasmodium parasites, is spread through the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Lantana camara Linn, a medicinal plant, has demonstrated larvicidal and adulticidal effects. Effervescent tablets containing natural larvicides offer an eco-friendly, long-lasting method to control larvae in stagnant water.
